Webpage Creation

From ProgSoc Wiki

The best way to start is to read a few tutorials in HTML. Some of the best ones I have found are at Webmonkey but you can also visit the W3C's tutorials if you want to get things really right. Don't forget there's also a section in TFM on creating Web pages, so go check it out.

Create a directory public_html in your home directory and ensure everyone else can access it with the following Unix commands:

mkdir ~/public_html

chmod 755 ~/public_html

chmod o+x ~

Create the file index.html unless you want the web server to generate an index of your files every time your directory is accessed.

Make sure you make your file world-readable with:

chmod a+r index.html

Remember any other files you want other people to see should also be world-readable.
